I am about to order the steppers needed to drive my 4 x 4 EVO, my very first router.
I don't want to waste money over-designing or overbuilding the machine but at the same time, i do not want to build a machine that I will outgrow in a few months of use or damage making demands its not up to.
On the basis of my limited experience, the EVO is primarily a woodworking machine and it is listed in the Wood Working Forum.
Does that characterization change to Metal Working simply by going to more powerful steppers and a 3 HP router?
I'd like the option of machining parts from 6000 series alloy.
What size steppers should I buy now in anticipation of metal working?
Thanks
